The Long Road

It had been a long walk.  He knew that because of the sun.  However he didn't actually know the time.  He should have brought a watch!  But he was in such a rush.  There was no time for it, because just like that things just went by so fast.  Why it feels like in just a moment he was at his old home and now he's here.  He missed his old home.  All the good memories, all the good places, all the good views, all the good...friends-But he couldn't dwell on the past.  He had to press forward to the future.  From what he could tell it was close to midday. Yet he wasn't sure as it hurt his eyes too much to look at the sun.  So he concentrated on walking.

But it was just so hard with his feet and back aching. Which was strange because he didn't have really anything with him.  Yet still he ached.  It hurt worse than if you were to get paper cuts all over and then take a bath in lemonade.  Or if you jumped into a porcupine and hedgehog gathering.  Or if you fell of a cliff 47 times.  Oh how it hurt all over.  It hurt to even think about it.  He wasn't sure if some of his burn marks had anything to do with it.  All he knew was that it hurt.  Badly.  It's why he really hoped a town would be up ahead.

What also didn't help was the fact that it had been three days since he'd eaten.  Now that he was thinking about food didn't help either.  He was so hungry he could almost eat dirt.  He scooped up some dirt, and shook it off. Almost.  His mouth was also dry and even his tongue was dry.  Not just because he was thirsty, but because it was probably one of the most hottest days in Equestria he'd ever experienced.  So dry that if some weather pegasus were to shake a cloud all that would happen is that the cloud would grow more.  He wondered how he didn't die from it.  But he had to just kept walking.

His things with him weren't much, because he was in a rush when he had gotten them.  He was wearing a brown cloak.  Just plain brown.  With no pattern or anything.  He only had only one bag with one precious item inside.  His most precious item.  The only thing left from his old home.  It was an item so precious it was worth more than a life(to him of course.)  It wasn't too much but he felt blessed for what he still had.

He had black hair and the same color of feathers.  Yes, he had wings, and he was proud of them.  He always liked to pretend he was the fastest flyer.  Or that he was flying with the Wonderbolts his idol's.  Sometimes he even pretended the most far'fetched of things, that he could preform a Sonic Rainboom.  Nopony had ever done one and if he ever found one he would love to hear their story.  But they were just stories, nothing more.

He had been walking for days now.  Because his wing was completely broken.  It hurt him on the inside to not be able to use his wnigs.  But he was determined to get as far away from where he had come from, as possible.  Even if that meant walking.  So that meant he had to walk.  Walking in the heat wasn't exactly easy either.  What he wouldn't kill for something to eat, drink, or do.  Because (suprisingly)  walking was pretty boring.  His surroundings had been the same for a while.  A dirt track and plains far and wide.  Sometimes a tree or two.

He then saw a sign up ahead.  He was so glad to see it.  'Finally!' he thought 'This may mean a town!'  Never had he ran so hard during the journey except for when he started.  He dashed up, eager to see what it said.  He spoke out the sign," Ponyville, 5 miles ahead."  He was happy to know there was a town.  He sort of wish he knew at least a little bit about Ponyville.

He had thought he heard something about it having to do with some ponies, the elements of harmony, and Nightmare Moon.  Or was it that pony that saved people from eternal chaos.  Or was it about the pony who traveled back in time.  He couldn't remember.  They were probably tall tales.  But one thing was for sure.  He just hoped there weren't any ponies that liked making friends with everyone there.  He definitely didn't need one of those.

Chapter 1

Ponyville: The First Day

When the mysterious pony finally got close to Ponyville he was able to get a look at it.  He only could only say one thing,"Wow" he whispered.  Ponyville looked so big compared to his old town.  It also looked a lot more...Professional?  No, that isn't the right word.  It looked a bit nicer.  And there was also the noise, a lot more ponies talking compared to his old home.  He was used to it being completely noiseless, usually.  It was so different from his old town.  Surprisingly Ponyville was also a lot more colorful.  More paint and overall more joyful.

Another thing that crossed his mind was that there was more activity.  There were Ponies selling fruits, vegetables,  tools, and home furniture?  He couldn't possibly think how bad their business must be going.  He would stop by for a bite to eat, though.  But that didn't matter to him as much because as soon as he got something to eat,drink, and rest(for a bit), he would be off again.  However it was unlucky that the first pony he ran into in Ponyville was...

"Hi i'm Pinkie Pie!"  A voice said in front of him,"What's your name?"

He didn't know how to respond.  He looked around to see where she could have come from.  But all that was around were stands.  It seemed like she had just appeared in front of him.  Then he started focusing on the actual pony in front of him.  He was looking at a pony with pink hair.  She seemed quite energetic.  He then wondered if everyone was like this.  They would probably want to meet with him.  Worse, they would want to talk to him!

"Uh, you still haven't said your name."  Without thinking(Because he had done a lot of that) he dashed down the road.  Behind him he heard Pinkie Pie say,

"But you didn't say who you were!"  He kept running and didn't look up until...

Crash!

He ran into some pony.

He opened his eyes.  He was in what looked like a hospital.

'How did I get here?' He thought.  Then, as if someone heard him a door opened and a pony stepped in.The pony was yellow and pink and seemed so delicate.

"Hello i'm the pony you ran into." The pony whispered it so lightly though that he couldn't hear her.  She was trying her best to hide in her mane.

"I'm sorry what was that?" He asked.

" I'm the pony you ran into."

He still couldn't hear her."One more time please?"

"I'm the pony you ran into."  She finally said a bit louder.

"Okay." he said,"Could you tell me where I am?"

"Your in a hospital." she replied delicately.

"Why am I here exactly?"he asked.

"You blacked out because you had been tired and weak." she replied again.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"M-My name's Fluttershy."

After a very long time after the mysterious pony had eaten and rested some more he thought he was ready to go out.  After another day of making sure of things the doctor finally said he was ready.

"That wing is broken, so stay off it for a while." the doctor said to him as he left,"It needs time to heal!"

"Okay! I will!" He replied.

Now he could leave and continue his journey.  So he started off.  He went to the market to get something to eat on the way and got ready to head off.  Before he could go though someone tackled him from behind.

"Get off me!" He yelled."You don't have any right to tackle someone."

"I think you should apologize for running into Fluttershy!" a voice replied.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"I'm Rainbow Dash!  The fastest flyer in Equestria!  And your not from here."
